Lille are on the brink of a historic Champions League milestone as they welcome Borussia Dortmund to Stade Pierre-Mauroy for the decisive second leg of their round of 16 tie. After battling to a hard-fought 1-1 draw in Germany last week, Les Dogues now have a golden opportunity to reach the quarter-finals for the first time in their history. Their home form in European competition has been formidable, winning 10 of their last 12 continental matches, including impressive results against Real Madrid and Feyenoord in the league phase.
Dortmund, on the other hand, arrive in France knowing they must overcome a poor record on French soil, having won just two of their last 11 trips. Although they secured a crucial victory at PSG last season, their recent struggles—highlighted by a disappointing 1-0 Bundesliga defeat to Augsburg—suggest they will face a stern test against Lille. Adding to the challenge, BVB have been eliminated in seven of the eight European ties where they drew at home in the first leg, a statistic that looms large over Niko Kovac’s side.
Lille have some selection concerns, with Edon Zhegrova, Tiago Santos, and Samuel Umtiti ruled out, while Osame Sahraoui remains doubtful. Dortmund, meanwhile, will be without Daniel Svensson and Felix Nmecha, but Serhou Guirassy, the Champions League’s top scorer with 10 goals, will be expected to lead their attack.
Given Lille’s home strength and Dortmund’s inconsistency, the French side look well-positioned to edge this encounter. Expect a tight, high-intensity contest, but Lille’s resilience and attacking options could see them through with a 2-1 victory, securing a 3-2 aggregate win and a historic place in the quarter-finals.
里尔即将迎来一个历史性的欧冠里程碑,他们将在皮埃尔-莫罗伊球场迎来多特蒙德,进行16强第二回合的决胜战。上周在德国1-1战平后,法国法国队迎来了历史上第一次进入四分之一决赛的绝佳机会。他们在欧洲赛场的主场表现令人敬畏,在过去的12场欧战中赢了10场,其中包括在联赛阶段对阵皇家马德里和费耶诺德的令人印象深刻的成绩。
另一方面,多特蒙德来到法国,知道他们必须克服在法国土地上的糟糕记录,他们最近11次客场只赢了两场。尽管他们上赛季在巴黎圣日耳曼取得了一场关键的胜利,但他们最近的挣扎——德甲0 - 1惨败给奥格斯堡——表明他们将面临里尔的严峻考验。更大的挑战是,在首回合主场战平的8场欧洲比赛中,BVB有7场被淘汰,这一数据对尼科·科瓦奇的球队来说非常重要。
里尔有一些选择上的问题,哲格罗瓦、蒂亚戈·桑托斯和塞缪尔·乌姆蒂蒂将被排除在外,而萨赫拉维仍然是个未知数。与此同时,多特蒙德将失去丹尼尔·斯文森和菲利克斯·恩梅查,但预计冠军联赛射手榜第一、打进10球的塞尔侯吉拉西将领导他们的进攻。
考虑到里尔的主场优势和多特蒙德的不稳定,法国队看起来很有可能在这场比赛中胜出。预计这将是一场激烈的、高强度的比赛,但里尔的韧性和进攻选择可以帮助他们以2-1取胜,确保总比分为3-2,并历史性地进入四分之一决赛。
